Is anyone interested in a random/reduced tonnage mod for merchants?

I threw together a mod that randomizes tonnage by 5% or 10% of the default value for all the merchants. I also have a few options that randomize and *reduce* tonnage.

For example

KSQ=Coastal Composite Freighter
(default tonnage 1850-1860)

option 1 - randomized lower value begins 10% lower than default and top value capped at default upper limit.
1665-1860 tons

option 2 - randomized lower value begins 5% lower than default value. Upper value can reach to 5% higher than default value.
1757-1942 tons

option 3 - randomized by 10% of lower default value, upper limit 10% higher.
1665-2035 tons

option 4 randomized and reduced
1053-1256 tons

option 5 -randomized and severely reduced (the biger ships such as 18000 ton passenger liner still are 18000 and large tankers still are around 10k)
542-681 tons

The work is all done basically, I haven't really tested it in game other than to see that the recog manual does show the new tonnage correctly and I did sink one ship that produced a tonnage in the desired range...so this would be considered a beta.

I would just need to upload it if there is any interest. Here's all the ships and the various tonnage options (the mod has 5 different options to choose from).
